During its Feb. 23 floor session the Utah House approved multiple consent-calendar items and committee recommendations with relatively brief debate.
Several Senate bills were passed as reported: SB95 (Mobile Home Park amendments) passed on the consent calendar (tally recorded 64-0), SB94 (Underground Sewer Utilities Facilities Amendments) and SB99 (Renewable Energy Certificate revisions) each passed with unanimous tallies reported on the floor (72-0 for SB94 and 72-0 for SB99 as recorded in the clerk’s announcements). The House also passed HB254 (authorizing nurse practitioners to sign death certificates) 74-0 and HB205 (Water Source Protection Amendments) 57-0 after brief sponsor presentations. HB310 (authority to allow the Lieutenant Governor to perform marriages) passed 68-6.
Committee chairs presented recommended placements for numerous bills, moving many to second reading, consent calendar placement or referral to rules and standing committees. The rules committee assigned several bills to standing committees and recommended interim study for a pair of water-rights items.
These items were handled quickly on the floor and will follow the standard enrollment, transmission or committee processes noted by the clerk and Speaker.
